I’m a heavily technical engineer and also an entrepreneur. I’m looking at low and no-code solutions right now (specifically Draftbit currently) because even if I can whip up something quickly, I can do it even faster with a low-code solution in areas that aren’t my domain. Also when I have a thousand other things to worry about learning mobile app dev as a primarily backend guy isn’t high on the list of priorities.
RAD (Rapid Application Development) is a valid way to brainstorm.
Offloading solutioning to other people or tools is also a valid strategy.
Ultimately, RAD is just a design phase. Commercial No Code companies aren't positioning themselves to be phased out of the design phase, they want to keep collecting your money for as long possible...and if your only advantage is that you have capital to pay someone to do your work for you, you have no advantage over competitors who are likewise capable of doing the same thing, against large companies who can pay much, much more money for the same thing, or eventually against people who figured out how to do it for themselves, more efficiently, than you.
I wish you all the best, so that you don't ever have to worry about learning mobile app dev because you are successful with the no-code mvp and can raise funding to hire mobile devs :)
